Irony of ironies...

As I'm sure everyone knows, CNN has sued Trump over the Acosta debacle. Here's a link to the story:

The irony is that one of the lawyers for CNN is Theodore Olson who represented Bush in the 2000 election recount dispute that went all the way to the Supreme Court and ended up electing Bush. Bush was so happy with Olson that he appointed him Solicitor General.

Olson is a founding member of the Federalist Society, the right-wing think tank that Trump credited with the nomination of Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.

For a second I thought this had to be a different Ted Olson because I thought I'd remembered him dying on 911, then I checked and saw it was his wife who died on that day.He's had a lot of years since the 2000 recount, and I'm wondering if his thinking might have changed since then. Bush people look a lot better in light of what occupies Washington today.
